New Homestead Exemption Requirements



Effective September 1, 2011, House Bill 252 requires property owners applying for the residential homestead exemption submit new required documents indicating Williamson County as their county of residence. In order to qualify for a residential homestead exemption you must provide with the Homestead exemption application copies of:

• The applicants vehicle registration receipt

• The applicants Texas driver’s license or Texas ID Card

All required documents must match the physical address of the residence for which you are applying.
Those applicants who do not own a vehicle will be required to submit a notarized affidavit certifying
that fact and provide a copy of a current utility bill. The address on the utility bill must be the same as the
address on the application for the homestead exemption.
